Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister will be able to control their investigations.
The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent.
People could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal bill takes more time.

Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
